From an early age, Artem Khasanov was interested in learning how the world works, so he started studying physics and technology. Khasanov studied physics at Kazan Federal University, where he was first engaged in semiconductors research and then, in collaboration with the Kazan Institute of Chemical Technology, was engaged in research of silicone rubbers.
“I am 107% sure (this is an accurately measured value) that the main quality of a researcher and developer is the ability to be a good observer,” he said. “Many secrets of the world are revealed if you are thoughtful enough.”
In 2013 Khasanov started working with TGT as a laboratory assistant, and he became a research engineer a year later. He added, “Once I realized that there is an industry where people who are passionate about technology and research are rewarded well—the oil industry—there was no stopping me!”
In 2019 Khasanov became the head of the testing laboratory. He devoted a significant part of his work to the study and application of ‘acoustics’ in oil and gas wells, as a means to locate and characterize fluid flow. Acoustic technology is a key ingredient in TGT’s diagnostic systems—used by its customers globally to keep wells safe, clean and productive.
